Chapter 10: Watching the Mother

After his mother left, Chen Hansheng followed his grandmother Xie Chunxiang all the time, and when he slept at night, Xie Chunxiang took him with him. If Chen Hansheng wetted the bed, Xie Chunxiang woke up Chen Caomin and asked Chen Caomin to find clean clothes to pad the wet place on the bed. Sometimes, Chen Caomin had to be tossed two or three times a night, and he was very impatient, and later he even pretended not to wake up. Xie Chunxiang saw that Chen Caomin was impatient, so he drove him to sleep in the small room in the back. Chen Caomin likes to be quiet and happy.

When he was sleeping at night, Xie Chunxiang, who was holding Chen Hansheng, suddenly asked Chen Hansheng: "Hansheng, do you miss your mother?"

Chen Han stiffly said, "I don't want to!"

"How can you not want to be a mother?" Xie Chunxiang said.

"I just don't want to!" Chen Hansheng said, "Didn't you tell me that if she really loved me, she wouldn't take me away? If she takes her sister away, if she doesn't take me away, she doesn't love me! If she doesn't love me, what else do I want her to do?"

"How can a mother not love her son?" Xie Chunxiang said, "Don't say it's a human, the animal gave birth to her own cub and protected it!"

"Didn't you say that?" Chen Hansheng looked at his grandmother suspiciously, feeling that his grandmother's attitude was not firm at all.

"I was coaxing you for a while!" Xie Chunxiang said, "If I didn't say that at that time, didn't you think about your mother every day, how could you have the heart to study? If I hadn't said that at that time, your temper might have secretly followed you to find your mother, and if you didn't get it right, you would have lost you!"

Chen Hansheng said: "Milk! Didn't you say that on the way to my mother's house, there were wolves, insects, tigers and leopards?"

"I'm also coaxing you!" Xie Chunxiang said with a smile, "If I don't coax you, you ran around, and I really lost you, how can I explain to your Lao Tzu?"

Chen Hansheng suddenly opened his mouth, his mother still loved him, this statement made his heart suddenly full of warmth, and thus he missed his mother.

But Chen Hansheng still wanted to break the casserole pattern to the end, and he asked his grandmother suspiciously, "Since my mother loves me, why didn't she take me and my sister with her? Why can she take my sister but not me?"

"Two of you, your mother can only take one. The grandmother said, "It is difficult to leave the two children on either side." ”

"Then why didn't my mother take me away and leave my sister behind?" Chen Hansheng asked still puzzled.

Xie Chunxiang sighed, and had no choice but to say, "You are the male and eldest son of the Chen family, and your sister is a female and second son, you want to stay in the Chen family to inherit the incense! Your sister is a daughter's family, and sooner or later it will always be someone else's family, so your mother took your sister and didn't take you." ”

Although Xie Chunxiang said it very clearly, Chen Hansheng didn't understand it very well in his heart, at this time, he didn't know what it meant to inherit incense. He even wondered if boys could stay at home, and wouldn't girls be able to stay at home as well.

Chen Hansheng, who had to figure everything out before letting go, had such a question in his mind.

"Do you want to see your mother?" Xie Chunxiang reminded again.

"Yes. Chen Hansheng said a little embarrassed, because he had said in front of his grandmother that his mother didn't love him, and he never wanted to see his mother.

"Then I'll take you to see your mother tomorrow, okay?" Xie Chunxiang said.

"Really?" Chen Hansheng felt as if he was dreaming, and he even sat up from the bed.

"Of course it's true!" Xie Chunxiang said, "I'm a milkman, and I still coax you to lie to you?"

"Okay, good!" Chen Hansheng clapped excitedly.

"Look at you!" Xie Chunxiang glanced at Chen Hansheng and said, "Do you know where your mother is?"

"I don't know. Chen Hansheng said, "Milk! Didn't you say that my mother remarried to a far away place, and did she have to walk for a few days and nights?"

"I'm also coaxing you!" Xie Chunxiang said, "Your mother remarried to Triangle Point, and it is only two or three miles away from here, and the time for a meal is up." ”

"It's so close!" Chen Hansheng said reproachfully, "Milk, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Grandmother said, "Aren't you afraid that if you find out, you'll secretly find it yourself?"

Chen Hansheng approved of his grandmother's idea, and he shouted happily again, "Okay! I can go to see my mother tomorrow!"

"Crazy boy!" said the grandmother with a laugh, "Sure enough, when you grow up, you will be a madman's temper, and you will be so excited that you will go crazy when something happens, and sure enough, there is no mistake in calling you a madman!"

Chen Hansheng didn't care what his grandmother said, he lay on the bed with his eyes open, and began to think crankily, and felt that this night's time was simply superfluous, and it would be best if he could get rid of it. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he couldn't sleep. Chen Hansheng, who couldn't sleep, tossed and turned in bed, so that his grandmother couldn't sleep. Xie Chunxiang patted him and said, "Get a good night's sleep first, and I'll get up and take you away when it's dawn." ”

Although Chen Hansheng was down-to-earth, he was still so excited that he couldn't sleep, he kept tossing and turning in bed, so that his grandmother, who was already asleep, blamed him for not sleeping in his dreams, so that she, the grandmother, couldn't sleep.

I don't know when, Chen Hansheng finally fell asleep due to nervous fatigue. When it was really dawn, Chen Hansheng slept very hard. The grandmother got up first, made the breakfast for the family, and then returned to the room and woke up Chen Hansheng.

When Chen Hansheng woke up, he looked at his grandmother and said, "Milk! Is it too late to get up now? Can we go to the tip of the triangle?"

"Yes!" said the grandmother with a smile, "seeing you like this, I am afraid that I will change my hexagram because you get up late, maybe I will really change my hexagram, and I won't go, or I won't take you there, are you in a hurry?"

"Milk is not allowed to change!" Chen Hansheng argued, "You often tell me that when a person speaks, he must count, and if he doesn't count, he is not what people say!"

"You really have the guts!" Xie Chunxiang said with a smile, "If others dare to scare, you dare to scare your milk! If you offend your milk, I'm afraid I won't have your good life!"

Chen Hansheng acted as if he hadn't heard it, he hurriedly got out of bed and dressed, washed his hair and face, and asked his grandmother to change into new clothes, and then went to eat a few mouthfuls of food.

After eating, everyone else went to the ground, Xie Chunxiang also finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, changed into clean new clothes, and tied a handkerchief on his body, and then said to Chen Hansheng with a smile, "Let's go!"

Chen Hansheng was taken aback by his grandmother, and asked nonsense, "Where are you going?"

"Go see your mother!" Xie Chunxiang glanced at Chen Hansheng and said, "Didn't you go to see your mother last night when you had to go to bed?"

Chen Hansheng lowered his head happily and embarrassedly.

Xie Chunxiang realized that Chen Hansheng didn't know which way to go, so she instructed Chen Hansheng to go which way to go, and not let her grandson walk behind her. The grandson was walking behind her, and he fell down on the road and fell into the ditch, and she couldn't see it, and she didn't feel at ease.

Chen Hansheng, who walked in front, was not honest, he jumped all the way, and occasionally ran to the side of the road to pick flowers and fruits, and kept asking his grandmother how to walk and how far away. Overjoyed, he still walked crookedly on the road, or did not walk in the middle of the road, and went to step on the grass on the side of the road.

"You, you!" Xie Chunxiang said with a smile, "It's not easy to walk a walk, I'm afraid that I won't grow up to be a hundred years old in the future, and I won't be able to become a person!"

"It's better if I don't grow up!" Chen Hansheng said, "I will always be a little girl, and I can go to school and play every day!"

"It's a good idea!" said the grandmother, "or in a few years, let you find a daughter-in-law to start a family, let you put the iron pot on your head, and you will know that the pot is made of iron, and you will no longer be so crazy and crazy!"

How could Chen Hansheng understand what his grandmother said at this time? He still relied on his own temperament and created his own personality along the way, so that his grandmother, who was in a hurry to leave, was eager to carry him away. It was really helpless, Xie Chunxiang frightened, "If you don't leave quickly, I'll go!"

This move is really smart, Chen Hansheng will be honest immediately, and he will no longer fight all the way to the jungle.

Two or three miles away, of course, is very close for adults, but for Chen Hansheng, it seems far away. Chen Hansheng, who has never walked such a long way since he was a child, began to have foot pain because he wore a pair of new shoes that were a little tight. Although Chen Hansheng, who has been sick since he was a child, has never suffered greatly, he began to complain of foot pain and didn't want to leave, he even coquetted to his grandmother, "Milk! I can't walk, you hug me!"

"Can I hold you now?" said the grandmother angrily, "you are no longer a three-year-old or two-year-old girl, you are almost ten years old! Even if I can afford to hold you, I can't walk this way, my thin feet, I can barely stand on my own feet, can I still carry you?"

Chen Hansheng thought about it, so he dispelled the idea of being coquettish, but in turn he remembered the question that had always been in his heart, and said, "Milk! Why are your feet different from others? Why do you have such a pair of thin feet? How inconvenient is it to walk with thin feet?"

Xie Chunxiang had heard Chen Hansheng ask questions more than once, and she even felt that if she didn't give a detailed answer, Chen Hansheng would still find an opportunity to ask questions. Xie Chunxiang purposefully coaxed Chen Hansheng and said, "Then you hurry up, when you get to your mother's house, my grandmother will tell you what is going on with my thin feet." ”

Chen Hansheng was very happy to hear his grandmother say that he wanted to tell him the story of his thin feet, he gritted his teeth and took a quick step.

When he came to a small pond in a mountain col, Xie Chunxiang looked up at Yang Donggu's home, and said to Chen Hansheng, "That's your mother's current home, and your mother is waiting for you in front of that door!"

Chen Hansheng looked up and saw that in front of a thatched hut at the other end of the pond, sure enough, there was his own mother, and there was a big man with a string of cannons in his hand, a cigarette in his mouth, and he was about to light a firecracker.

Chen Hansheng, who had been hurt by playing with firecrackers, subconsciously tugged at the corners of his grandmother's clothes, shrunk and said, "Milk! I'm afraid of firecrackers!"
